Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my family, particularly my two spirited teenagers. I can be found crafting, getting my hands muddy in the pottery studio, and enjoying the beauty of Vancouver Island’s lakes, beaches, and forests. I am committed to learning, and take pleasure in keeping my skills up to date with continued education.
